Hmm, I just got out of the hospital after a two night stay (the colitis has decided it's time to get nasy, apparently)--I think that means I am having better day. Always nicer to be sick in one's own bed and toilet than the hospital's, liked up to a semi-socialized IV unit.
Seriously:
I knew OKC was dated with Patriots day, but I had forgotten (or not known--I always think of the Warsaw Ghetto as being commerorated on Yom HaShoah, English date be darned) the rest shared the date.
